It would help our appointments secretary if you detail your availability as soon as possible. This is done via the appointments website: whostheref.com. Click 'Reset password', then follow the instructions. The system will send you an email which includes a link, sometimes this link cannot be clicked which means you need to copy the whole link and paste it into the address bar of your web browser. You can then enter your new password, return to the log in screen and log in.
You can enter your availability directly - when you log on you will see Contact Availability on the menu. The system assumes you are not available unless you say you are. Also it allows you to enter your availability for each day of the week.
Keep a record of your mileage on behalf of the society and claim at the end of Dec/Apr. See above.
We hope you will enjoy your refereeing with the society, the committee is here to help and support.
